Hypersensitivity in Autism

Autistics cannot read facial expressions?!

I am very sharp at understanding body-language.
I observe facial expressions carefully when I speak, in so easily anticipating counter-outputs.

Neurotypical/Neurodivergent relationship

My wife is often embarrassed by not being able to hide her personal feelings with me. I understand within seconds if her smile is staged or genuine.
Sometimes it helps, others it causes friction. 
Not always, we want to disclose our innermost emotions.

My response is launching in an exhaustive sixth-grade, out of concern: “ Something happened? Are you depressed, angry, worried………?!” 

Until she lets out a desperate “Enough! Bugging me”.
The good news is that she appreciates my concern later on, and thanks me.

I believe the best strategy for a good neurotypical/neurodivergent relationship,  is making use of diversity in balancing emotions.
